Quotes from the Movie Bridget Jones s Diary

It all began on New Years day, in my 32nd year of being single. Once again I found myself on my own and going to my mother's annual turkey curry buffet. Every year she tries to fix me up with some bushy-haired, middle-aged bore and I feared this year would be no exception.

Bridget

My mum, a strange creature from the time when a gherkin was still the height of sophistication.

Bridget

And that was it. Right there. That was the moment. I suddenly realised that unless something changed soon I was going to live a life where my major relationship was with a bottle of wine... and I'd finally die, fat and alone, and be found three week later half-eaten by Alsatians. Or I was about to turn into Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction.

Bridget

Tom, 80's pop icon who only wrote one hit record then retired because he found that one record was quite enough to get him laid for the whole of the 90's. Total poof, of course.

Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess, with a very bad man between her thighs... Mum, hi.

at times like this, continuing with one's life seems impossible... and eating the entire contents of one's fridge seems inevitable. i have two choices: to give up and accept permanent state of spinsterhood and eventualy be eaten by alsatians... or not, and this time i choose not. i will not be defeated by a bad man and an American stick insect! instead, i choose vodka, and chaka khan.

Bridget

Don't be silly, Bridget. You'll never get a boyfriend if you look like you've wandered out of Auschwitz. ~Mother

Mother, I do not need a blind date. Particularly not with some verbally incontinent spinster who smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish and dresses like her mother. ~Mark
